I broke down and purchased a 98se OS. I got it at a good price and now I can use my Linksys card. Thanks for your reply. I will let everyone know how I made out.

I have a computer with Windows 98 233mhz 32mb memory and a slot for wireless ethernet card, (32 bit I think). I need a good and hopefully,fairly cheap ethernet card to get on the internet. My first option was to get a fresh copy of Windows 98se. I have a card that would work with 98se (Linksys WPC11 ...

I think I have it narrowed down to Windows Explorer. And because Internet Explorer is intergrated with Windows Explorer, it causes the same freeze of computer. This is why I can use Mozilla/Firefox and surf the net. I am not sure why the router causes Windows Explorer to freeze, but it does. When I ...

Computer is running Windows ME with Internet Explorer 6. Cable Modem is Motorola SB5120. Router is Linksys WRT54Gv5 with newest update. Ethernet card is Linksys LNE100TX-G1
Here is the problem. Computer hooked straight to cable modem, no problems, runs fine. As soon as the computer and the router ...

I have people ask me this all the time, and 95% of the time it is Zone Alarm. If you have it, turn it off and see if it helps. Hope this helps!

Awesome! I now need to know if the IP address on the upstairs computer will ever change? If so, does that mean I will have to go through the same process to enter the new IP number to control it? Thanks a million

Hello. I have 3 computers hooked up to my Linksys BEFW11S4 Router. I want to be able to have the control of whether a user of the computer upstairs can access the internet or not. As of now, I am pulling the that connection out of the back of the router to achieve this. There has to be a way of ...

I found the answer in F&Q's site! The next set to use you need 20, the next set is 100 and then 1000. Thanks everyone.

Can someone tell me how I can get my own cool icon to post with my name like everyone seems to have? I know I probably have to make my own, but how do I post it? Thanks!!!

Thanks for that valuable information. Did you buy the cat5 at a local mom and pop store, or at a large chain such Lowes, Home Depot, etc. I had thought about how my phone line cable has been outside for at least 20 years(the smaller type that you normally use inside,not the phone company's black ...

Hello YeOldeStonecat. I wanted to run this by you to make sure I will accomplish what I'm trying to do. I have cable modem service coming to my Motorola Surboard cable modem box. From there it will go to a, soon to be purchased, Linksys router with 4 port switch. From there, two lines (is cat 5 the ...

Hope you don't mind all of my questions? The 1st one I had asked earlier. Is it better perfomance to use my onboard ethernet(Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller) on my XP machine, or should I use a network card? My 2nd question was, I may have to run the ethernet cable outside. Is there any ...

Can you tell me what you, or anyone else in this forum, thinks of the Linksys BEFSR41 EtherFast® Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch. The easier to set up, the better. I know pretty much about all other aspects of computers, but this networking is taking time to sink in. Before I forget, is it ...

Hello. I have a XP machine downstairs that has the cable modem hooked up to it. I have a 98se machine upstairs that I want to be able to share files, game playing between the two machines, and I want to be able to control when the machine upstairs has internet access!First, will I have to limit who ...

Is it possible for you to tell me how to free up the IRQ and how you can tell which ones you can free up? This is new territory for me.
Thanks, Steve

I was actually thinking of buying another nic card. Upon looking on that site, I found out that there are systems that have a "master" pci slot. So I took out my dail-up modem and stuck my ethernet card in this slot, and it works great. I don't know if this is the actual reason why it works or not ...

I don't have it in the first slot. Besides, windows can see it.
It shows up in the device manager and says everything is working properly, including the driver.The problem is that is
doesn't show up in the dropdown when you go into WINIPCFG
Not sure why.Any suggestions would be appreciated. This ...

Tried it, no go. I can switch right back to the USB and it works. I think I might have to get rid of USB drivers. I not sure i want to try that, and then have no connection if I can't get it running again. I will keep searching for the answers. Thanks for the suggestion!

I have a SB4200 Motorola Cable Modem. When they hooked it up, couldn't get the cat5 way to work, used the USB hookup. Works great. One problem. After hookup, I went to connect to my Netgear RT311 router, no USB hookup to router. I can't seem to get it to go through the Cat 5 cable. Any help for this ...

I have a Netgear FA311 adapter and can't seem to get my cable modem to run using it. I hooked modem up using the USB, and it runs. The card is seen in the device manager , driver seems ok( don't know if an update would help) no conflicts happening. My problem using usb connecton to my pc is the ...
